Danielle Piccolomini is a Chicago transplant originally from Delaware who moved to the city in fall 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic. After nearly a 10-year hiatus from theater, during which she spent about seven years touring with a variety show through an unconventional college program. She returned to the stage by auditioning for Deerfield Theater's production of Inherit the Wind with just 20 minutes' notice. Since then, she has appeared in multiple Deerfield productions, including Beauty and the Beast, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (as Verruca Salt), and Shrek, and she now plays the Countess in Murder on the Orient Express — a Hungarian noblewoman who is beautiful, intelligent, medically trained, and central to helping the detective solve the murder. By day, Danielle manages a music school, and she credits her theatrical experience, particularly the ability to identify problems and solve them quickly, as a skill that directly benefits her professional life.
